compartment a worthy squire, whom I knew by sight, engaged in
conversation with another passenger, who was evidently a friend of his.

Carterton, it would still be the same distance. You see, I am
equidistant from the three stations, so I get a good choice of trains."

squire had to drive home whichever station he got out at. What was the
distance?
